Rick Ross Uninjured After Crashing Car to Avoid Gunfire

Literal shots fired in ongoing Gangster Disciples beef

Rick Ross' 37th birthday is off to a terrible start today after the rapper crashed his Rolls Royce in Fort Lauderdale, Florida early this morning in an attempt to avoid at least 20 rounds of gunfire. According to South Florida's NBC 6, both Ross and another female passenger were uninjured in the crash, and while no bullets managed to hit Ross' vehicle, nearby buildings were struck.

The assailants fled the scene before police arrived and are still at large. An investigation is underway and authorities have not yet named a motive, but the shooting may stem from the rapper's ongoing troubles with the Gangster Disciples, a nationwide gang that has essentially put a hit out on Ross until he "cuts a check" to the group.
